The image is a direct photographic reproduction of the (negative) original Schmidt plate, made through an intermediate (positive) film in order to show the star field and the comet exactly as they look on the original plate. The diffuse image of the comet is situated at the centre. The comet moved 8 arcsec towards West and 3 arcsec towards North during the exposure.
